AI is going to become a big part of our lives in the future. Many of us already use GPT and other models daily but with AI companions, you will get a more interactive experience. Take the Pophie for instance: it is an AI companion that stays aware of your surroundings. It has contextual awareness with large models. It features smooth movement with its 5 degrees of freedom. You don’t need an app to customize this. After you connect it to your WiFi network, you can ask Pophie to change her eyes or perform moves.
This gadget comes with 8 touch sensors and a local AI. It can react to your pats and hugs. Pophie is smart enough to identify voices, so it provides responses that are relevant to each person. Unlike other robots that have a bunch of preset moves and responses, Pophie changes her body language and voice tone for each situation. It has a memory to remember your preferences and details. You have the option to activate its camera to capture your special memories. This project is getting funded on Kickstarter.
